Nightmares and Cold Ones John McFadden

The man in black fled across the desert, and the cold ones ka-tet followed. Join Gina and John as their start their trek through King's magnum opus. The duo break down this weird western with sci-fi, horror, and fantasy elements. The return of one of King's greatest creation, Walter, AKA Randall Flagg, AKA the man in black is praised. The two try to decipher the world that has moved on, and the broken gunslinger that it left behind. So, crack a cold one and enjoy this palaver.

Kristina and John cover the brilliant 70's set found footage flick written and directed by Colin and Cameron Cairnes. The two praise the storytelling, the clever take on the previously well worn horror found footage technique, as well as the nostalgic art direction. The two think that this David Dastmalchian led flick will become required viewing for many Halloweens to come. So gather up Night Owls, crack a cold one and enjoy.

John and Jim chat about John Carpenter's masterpiece The Thing, a tale about a shapeshifting alien lifeform that causes panic and paranoia amongst a team of Americans at a research station. The two discuss how criminally underrated the film was when it first debuted in 1982. They also get into the gory details of Rob Bottin's genius special effects makeup work on the film. The two discuss how often remakes can be disappointing but agree, Carpenter's retelling has to stand as one of the all time great remade flicks. So, bundle up as you join us in the Antarctic, crack a cold one and enjoy.

G and John take a deep dive into Richard Bachman's (cough cough, Stephen King's) dystopian novel. The two agree that King accurately predicted the rise of reality t.v, but also acknowledge that the writer falls short on executing his vision; a brilliant premise does not automatically equal a brilliant book. While this book fell short of expectations, the two look upon King's '80's bibliography with much anticipation, and the next stop is The Gunslinger. We are now are officially on the path of the beam. Sit back, crack a cold one and enjoy.

We made to 100, people! Instead of looking at any one specific movie, John and Jim rip off an old bit for sports radio; Mount Rushmore. The two list some of their favorite horror flicks and touch on early memories of watching them. They occasionally go off on tangents about comic book flicks as well as the state of the movie industry that we're witnessing right now. The duo discuss their upcoming plans for the pod going forward. Sit back, crack a cold one and enjoy.

Welcome back to King's haunted town of Castle Rock. Gina and John take a big ol' bite out of King's seminal book about a good dog turned rabid. The duo dig into the nitty gritty of the novel with maybe one or two too many sub-plots. John has some issues with the cereal advertising subplot in particular. The two recall an early episode of their lives when they had to walk home from a gas station in the summer of '93. Sit back, grab a cold one and enjoy.
